Emotions, when it comes to things such as this, does not work for me. So all those here bemoaning the number dead, well it is what it is.

When the dictator Mubarak unleashed his thugs on Tahir Square, it was that the populace was fighting for democracy. For good governance. We were even led to believe it was an Arab Spring. Mubarak had to go for a liberal democratic Egypt to flourish, we were assured. A new democratic Egypt was just around the corner.

Contrast that with the present set of protestors. What is their aim, their want? To rule over all of Egypt, to mistreat minorities, to appoint civilian murdering terrorists as governors, to mistreat women, ... the list is endless. Missing from the list, a liberal democratic governing structure.

Closest comparison, not at all unfair, would be Hitler and Germany 1933. Winning a majority of votes, Hitler was invited to form the government. Hitler and his Nazi party did not much disguise their agenda. And it would be a different world today if Hitler had been removed, similarly early on.

Consider this : Under Morsi's MB the past fifteen months, Alexandria banished Christians and Shias and Jews and other minority citizens. They were asked to leave and most left. Some converted.

So when you moan about 300 dead or 3000 dead, it is necessary to ask what did they die for. Were they fighting for a liberal democracy? or for a right to practice their religion? or for a right to impose their religious beliefs on all?
